4.0.4 not jellybean

Had one the other week and it was only a kernel update. Got one today and it seemingly does nothing.
TMO has consistently forced updates to be done through Kies.
Anyone know a way to make the SGH-T989 ignore OTA updates? TMO & Samsung have dropped the ball enough that I don't care about any updates they create.

I did it before while I was rooted. Still was rooted after the update was done but only did it once.

Did you update with Kies? I connected my T989D to Kies the other day to see if there would be any issues to prepare for in anticipation of official 4.1. When I tried to update (I know the update didn't exist yet), Kies said that the device could not be initialized. When I had done this before installing TWRP and rooting, I didn't get the error message.
I'm on stock 4.0.4 from Koodo and using the newest version of Kies (2.5.something??). The Kies backup and syncing options seemed to be fine.
I have assumed that I will have to go back to unrooted with stock recovery to get the update via Kies.

Not going to make a new thread for this easy Q so ill ask here (its on topic).
Today I connected to Kies and saw there is an update for my ICS. This would be the 3rd update, and I noticed after under Kernel, it has an unusually long name with "SMP Preemenpt Mon Jan 14" in the name, What is this last update all about?

Its an update to ics. Nothing spectacular but it has some security fixes and vlingo "improvements".

Why bother? why not just download any of the pre-rooted versions of this and save yourself the time.
Sad you just got your notice, others got it weeks ago.
You're probably going to root again anyway, so why not use the one click ff18 that's already rooted? also, you didn't have to wait for the ota, you could've had this weeks ago. The ota and ff18 leak have been verified to be exactly the same release

Yeah I didnt know that the leaked FF18 would end up being the official release.
Rooting was no big deal. I've already rooted, and replaced the kernel on the OTA update.
Anyone know of a good rom that has fixed all of the issues with the OEM ICS?

I think the latest for our phone is UVLH2, so not sure what you are seeing. But you will need to be on UVLH2 to get any official OTA.

Samsung is pissed you're running a leaked firmware and is pushing that update to hard brick your device. You have 24hrs till your phone is a paperweight. Sorry dude.

My guess is not any time soon. 4.2.2 is already out and we're still using 4.1.2 and there isn't even a rumor of the update existing. My guess is we'll get the LTE update (without 4.2) when 4.2 itself is long in the tooth.
OP I just got off the phone with T-Mobile they said the update was rolled out today in the afternoon. You can check your settings "about device" and update from there. If you are not stock you need to Odin back to stock. Make sure you do a full factory reset a couple times from the stock recovery after you Odin.
If you boot back up and there is no update available just give customer service a call and ask the tech to manually push it to your device. The update is 4.2
If that doesn't work then all your base are belong to us.

I used to check my phone for updates every day before MultiWindow came out. :-/ A much better solution is to add T-Mobile's Note II update page to your RSS reader, and you'll get the notification from T-Mobile that the update will be pushed later that week. THEN you start checking your phone like crazy.
Also, you'll hear about in XDA, too...
The Update webpage is at: http://support.t-mobile.com/docs/DOC-4962

Ljc is the latest tmo version of 4.1.. I'm guessing yours is still on LJA and your on stock rooted ROM. If you take that update you'll lose root most likely.
Ljc has been out for a couple few months. Check what version your phone is on. Bet ya 5$ its still on lja if your receiving an update

It doesn't much matter. The devs aren't even really using this base much cause the update was so minor. The only good thing about it is the modem. So I guess you could take it.. You can always go back to an lja if ya want. 95% of custom twiz ROMs are lja

Dont forget the voodoo ota rootkeeper, if tou update and you hav root you will lose the root. Download it from the playstore and enable it, temp unroot after you make your backup, then update and reboot, then restore root. = win!
